A water leak had developed in the galley of an
airliner on the long trans-pacific flight to Manila.

Water eventually soaked the carpet throughout the
aft cabin of the 747.

A very sleepy woman, who had become aware of the dampness,
tugged at a flight attendant's skirt as she passed by.
'Has it been raining?' she asked, blinking sleepily.

The flight attendant, keeping a straight face, gently replied:
'Yes, but we put the top up,' and patted the woman's sholder.

With a nod, a smile and a sigh of relief, the woman went back to sleep.
